Moseley
Moseley is Birmingham's bohemian heart—a village that feels like it belongs in a bigger, more glamorous city. Victorian houses, independent shops, excellent pubs, and a farmers market that draws people from across the Midlands. It's where Birmingham's creative class lives, where the pubs have character and the coffee is taken seriously. JRR Tolkien grew up here; the Moseley Bog allegedly inspired the Old Forest in Lord of the Rings.
